The Origin of Wide Span Sheds

An Australian Story of Strength and Vision 

In the year 2000 when much of rural Australia was battling the unforgiving extremes of drought, floods, and fluctuating markets, a couple of Aussies on the Gold Coast saw an opportunity—not just to design sheds, but to build something bigger: a brand rooted in trust, strength, and the real needs of Australians. 

Wide Span Sheds was born in 2000, from humble beginnings and a simple belief—that no matter where you live in this vast country, you deserve a structure that will withstand Australia’s toughest conditions. Whether it’s the scorching sun in the Red Centre or the salt-laced winds along the coast, the team behind Wide Span Sheds wanted to provide steel buildings that were strong enough for the land and smart enough for its people. 

At a time when most competitors offered off-the-shelf options, Wide Span Sheds carved its niche by doing things differently. Every shed was custom-designed. Every order backed by engineering tailored to the exact property. From small garages and hay sheds to sprawling farm workshops and commercial buildings, the brand quickly earned a reputation for quality, reliability, and genuinely good service. 

The early 2000s saw rapid growth, thanks to a growing network of distributors and agents—locals who knew their regions and customers inside out. These were not salespeople; they were builders, farmers, and small business owners who understood that a shed is more than just a storage space—it’s a workshop, a legacy, a home. 

As the brand expanded across the country, it stayed true to its roots: 100% Australian owned, proud of its rural connections, and relentless in its pursuit of engineering excellence. With each passing year, more families, farmers, and businesses turned to Wide Span Sheds—not just for the product, but for the peace of mind that came with it. 

Today, 25 years on, Wide Span Sheds stands as a symbol of Australian resilience. From Cape York to Kalgoorlie, and everywhere in between, its sheds have become part of the landscape. Designed for strength. Designed for Australia.  

Because when you choose Wide Span Sheds, it isn’t just a decision for today – it's an investment for generations to come.
